By now, everyone knows that even if BJP gets 0 seats in state elections, they'll still form a government.

Shah saar will just buy an entire regional party with their regional leaders and the governor of the state will be like, "Kewl. Ye lo Gormint."

Thanks #ElectoralBonds!
Matlab I don't understand why BJP even bothers spending money on campaigning anymore. Let others spend money on that.

Smart thing is to spend money buying and selling people after results come. Cheaper and more effective, eh?

Add some CBI-ED raids for extra convincing powers.
Saying a few things in anticipation of Bhakts:

- Yes yes they got 100+ seats.
- Yes yes BJP is awesome.
- Yes yes Chanakyaniti and everything. - Congrats.
- Yes yes Congress has done it too.
- Yes yes Nehru sucks.

Been saying for a while that #ElectoralBonds is a special currency only for political parties. This proves it.

The BJP Government has been allowing purchase of bonds even outside the permitted window, right before elections.

Illegally.

@nit_set 🙌
huffingtonpost.in/entry/electora…
@nit_set Putting it simply, the Government is now printing and selling bonds whenever it wants, that too for unlimited amounts.

Imagine one note of Rs 10 crore which is valid for a limited time. But since it happens frequently, you can keep buying selling these whenever PMO wants it.
@nit_set So in 2016, the Govt took away old currency from the citizens. Issued new currency after putting them through hell.

Then in 2017, they introduced ANOTHER special currency exclusively for politicians. This currency can be for the amount they want and get it whenever they want it.

We don’t need Amit Shah to tell us whether or not NPR will lead to the NRC/NRIC.

It’s there in the rules notified by the Vajpayee govt in 2003. This is the law of the land. Read it for yourself.

1/ There are lots of good and vital ethical, moral, and political arguments against the fundamental injustice of the #CAA. This thread lists other arguments and forms of resistance that focus on procedural and institutional challenges.
2/

Writing this so that we remember that our forms of resistance must be as varied and diverse as the forms of exclusion we face. The courage of today's protestors deserves pathways tomorrow to grow and sustain.
3/

In a nutshell: the #CAA constantly seeks to separate from the #NRC. Former is the "Act", latter only an "implementation mechanism." This will make legal challenges focus on CAA and less on NRC which will appear procedural and apolitical.

This is a thread about #NRC which is aimed at creating chaos within Muslims in India, NRC is designed to divert the attention of Muslims from their core issues concerning their future to fear of getting deported or detained

Please read and share this
#BoycottNRC #indiasMuslims
to understand NRC, we need to take a look at past politics and how this NRC came into existence

in this thread, we will take a look at what is Assam NRC and how it is going to be different from NRC in other parts of India #MuslimsUnite
when #NRC was implemented in Assam, Hindutva was first to oppose this move.

they told, by means of NRC, the government is trying to give citizenship to Bangladeshi immigrants

Muslims were called Bangladeshi and they ran politics on this for 30 long years

Whenever someone from BJP talks about #NRC for the while country, even if it's @AmitShah, even if u love this govt, ask, for your own sake:
1. First have you figured out what you'll do with NRC excluded in #Assam? Show me proof this method works to deport illegals.
1/n
2. The cut off date to show citizenship in Assam is 1971, when Bangladesh was formed. What is it for regions that don't border Bangladesh?
3. FRRO is the one monitoring visas and foreigners resident in India, picks out illegal stay. How will it work with #NRC?
2/n
4. The Census dept is making the National Population Register (NPR) for residents of India. It even collects biometrics. It's ongoing. Will this be distinct from @NRC? Do we need so many lists?

#India And #Pakistan In The Last 24 Hours

Indian government says it is not sending any representative for the Pakistan National Day celebrations at the #PakistanHighCommission in New Delhi. Official boycott.
Men dressed in civilian clothes stood outside #Pakistan High Commission today evening, just reminding all invitees to the Pakistan National Day celebrations that Indian govt had boycotted the event. "Entirely up to you if you want to attend it, but we thought you should know."
I was told the same thing to which I say that I understand and ask them for the way into the HC. "So you're going?" to which I respond in affirmative. They ask my name, take down my car number and clear the way.
